Complete restore/overhaul of a classic fender amp (56k beware, tons of pics) OK guys, so I had a 1977 Fender Super Twin Reverb that I was going to sell... I changed my mind. I got it out of the shop to get a few caps redone, along with all new tubes, and i just sounds so incredibly good I can't...

These go for $700 new per pair. I've had them about two years now and used them only in my home studio... smoke/pet free environment. I moved and haven't used them in about a year. They've been sitting in the original boxes in a bedroom ever since. Don't have any use for them as I have no room...

Ok, so here she is. This is our newest track. We just did the tracking live in our bassist, Eric's living room. This hasn't been mixed at all yet. Just set the faders in the right ballpark. Slapped a comp and limiter on the guitar, and on the master bus. Total of 6 channels, recorded live in 1...

Hey guys. so my band, The Fine Print, is about to be working on a record. We were going to do it ourselves, but our bassist has decided we should go to the studio. We're going to do the tracking at one studio in Pro Tools. Then we have an outside engineer/producer that will be doing the mixing...

OK, so I'm bored sitting at work right now, and making a wishlist of things I'd like to buy one of these days. I have used and always wanted to own, an1176 and an LA-2A. I've known about the two channel versions of each for quite some time. However, not until today did I notice the very small...

I've been working on some tracks for my band's upcoming record, and am constantly frustrated with the extremely crappy CAD kick mic we've been using. It's time we get a real kick mic. I'm hoping for a D112, but even an Audix D6 or Shure Beta 52 would be nice. The cheaper the better, as long as...

How well do you think the pros did at mixing these live takes??? Click the link below to hear a few sound clips from my band's recent interview at the Riverwind Casino in Norman, OK. We did a short interview and played a few songs that were aired on www.oklatravelnet.com. I cut out our sound...

Can the grill of a speaker cabinet be spray painted??? I do alot of spray painted stencil work and was wanting to paint the front of some of my guitar amps. I just wasn't sure if it would negatively effect the sonic charcteristics or output of the sound leaving the speaker. Any ideas? I am going...

Could you damage a microphone by placing it inside an inflated balloon??? I was wanting to do an experiment with sticking an SM57 inside of an inflated baloon and recording a few things. Would this hurt the diaphragm of the mic??? I figured on a dynamic it probably wouldn't matter, but maybe on...

Experiment #2: Using mics to record what you've already recorded. http://www.myspace.com/2ndstorystudios Check out my myspace page now. The song is "Experiment #2: Mic Positioning" OK, It is officially up now!!! And I set it to auto play when you load my myspace page. It's a rough mix and I'm...

http://www.myspace.com/2ndstorystudios Listen to the track "Spanish Acoustic Experiment". This song was really somewhat of an experiment. I was out on the porch the other night and came up with this rhythm guitar section I liked. I went upstairs into my studio and recorded it in one take. Then...

The songs on my page are a few of my very first attempts at both recording, mixing, and composing. I am only 21 and very inexperienced. All was done with the most minimal of equipment. One microphone, one guitar, one amp, one effects pedal (a line 6 dl-4), no bass, the cheapest drum machine I...

Basically, I have a friend that is going to England in a few weeks, and has a really nice 88 full weighted key Yamaha Keyboard that he will let me keep and use in my home studio for about 6 months until he returns. He said that it is really nice, and plays very well, but has very limited number...

http://www.antarestech.com/products/avp.shtml I do not have a computer in my studio, and do not want one in there. I use a Tascam 2488 mkII for my recording. I am ready to start buying equipment for recording better vocals, since this is where my equipment is lacking the most. I'm looking for a...

Limitations of cover band??? Where is the line here? I currently just joined two bands... one an active gigging cover band that's been around my area for about 10 years. The other, a new ground up original band. I know for now the cover band has more potential just because they've been around...

Looking to build websites in exchange for used music equipment... I have been dealing with coding and sites since I was about 15 and have a very extensive knowledge on web design. I am looking to build sites for bands or whatever, in exchange for just about any kind of music equipment. I don't...

Best Tubes for Super Twin Reverb??? I know very little about tubes, but I am needing to replace the ones I have. I have a 77-80 Super Twin Reverb 2x12 combo. It has 6 - 6l6 power tubes (yes this thing is a monster). I bought the amp from a friend a few years ago. He replaced some, but not all...

I currently am playing around with some recording a few different ways just to get familiar with the hard disk recorder I bought. I am getting my Mogami cables in a few weeks, along with a rolls direct box. My question is regarding where to put the direct box in the chain of events. I am lining...
